Easter Fun

We had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning behind Nancy's house. We had filled a ton of eggs the night before and Daryl hid them for us. We only put one piece of candy in each egg so it was okay for them to go hog wild on the hunt. Above is the line up waiting for the gate to open. Below is Nathan and Neve going first since they are a little younger.
The older kids taking off.

The kids enjoying their spoils.
After the egg hunt we had relay races. So. Much. Fun! I think everyone had a good time, and a lot of good laughs. Our college friend, Daryl, and his girl, Chrissy, came to Yuma for the wedding and to spend time with old friends. It was so fun to have them here. They were so hilarious. It was a little flash back to the good old college days. That brought the total at Nancy's to 6 adults and 9 kids. What a ball! Of course the adults got in on the relay action.
Here are Dane and Nathan during one of the relays.
Adult/Child teams. Eliza and I were disqualified because I picked her up and carried her after she tripped. I still think we won though. That's just good team work, right?
Jonathan had to rescue this team. Neve either fell or didn't want to do it and Lauren still wanted to finish. It was hilarious! They were just standing there and Lauren was trying to coax Neve into moving. Jonathan stepped in to help them out.
On Sunday we had an Easter egg hunt and Mom and Dad's just for the adults. They had scripture clues guiding us to the clues for the scavenger hunt to find the Easter basket. Then after the basket was found, we each got to find one camouflage egg. They were hard to find. They were green or brown and well hidden. Inside there was candy and money. Mine had $10 in it and so Nathaniel and I used it to get a Chocolate Thunder from Down Under at Outback. Is there a better way to spend your money? I like the adult egg hunt tradition. You're never too old for some things.
